Enjoy one of music’s most exciting, star-studded festivals from the comfort of your sofa…

Are you ready to rock? We said, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK? You’d better be, because the Isle Of Wight Festival 2018 is ready for lift-off – and it’s live on Sky Arts on Virgin TV.

This fantastic festival is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and with the likes of Kasabian, Liam Gallagher, Depeche Mode and the Killers all strutting their stuff on stage, it’s sure to be an incredible weekend of music, mayhem and muddy good fun.

Broadcaster Edith Bowman, comedian Joel Dommett and DJ Vick Hope are your hosts across the three days, bringing the action from the fields of Seaclose Park straight to your TV. And don’t worry if you happen to miss out, because you can get up to speed with every guitar solo, epic chorus and crowd surf through Catch Up TV.

Anyone who’s ever been to a music festival knows that it’s all about packing wisely. Forget to bring that all-important item and you could be in serious trouble. But which festival essential says the most about you? Take our quiz to find out whether you’re toilet roll or overpriced bottled water…
